It's summer. I'm in a supermarket. It's hot and I'm sweaty. Damp. And I'm watching this couple shopping. I'm watching you. And you're both smiling. You see me and you know sort of straight away that I'm going to have you.

With a raw mixture of black humour and bleak philosophy, the play follows three disconnected young adults whose lives have been reduced to a series of transactions in an emotionally shrink-wrapped world. A place where shopping is sexy and fucking is a job.

Ravenhill's play is a prophetic vision of our twenty-first century world. It received its world...

Award-winning playwright Mark Ravenhill examines the hungers releases when two countries separated by a common language, meet again. In the story when Franz's mother escaped Germany to the West with one of her identical twin boys, she left the other behind. Now, 25 years later, Karl crosses the border in search of his other half. As history takes an unexpected turn, the brothers must struggle to reconnect.

The play premiered at the Royal Court Theatre in London in 2009.

This ground-breaking drama was Mark Ravenhill's first full-length play and part of a movement in the 1990s of "in your face" British theatre which frankly dealt with issues of sex and violence and pointedly challenged societal values. The play explores how consumerism has become our new value system which reduces everything else to a mere transaction, as shopping malls become the new cathedrals of Western consumerism.

The plot follows a crowd of drifters and sex traders in a seedy area of London in the 1990s. Five main characters are linked loosely and intermittently and at the...

Mother Clap's Molly House, a black comedy with songs is a celebration of the diversity of human sexualtiy, an exploration of our need to form families and a fascinatig insight into a hidden chapter in London's history.

A collection of three plays for young actors written by Mark Ravenhill--Citizenship, Scenes from Family Life, and Totally Over You--each with an introduction by the author. Originally commissioned as part of the National Theatre's Connections program, these three plays were specifically written for teenagers and are ideal for young performers aged thirteen to twenty-five years old.

Written with greater warmth and humanity than you might expect from the author of notably controversial works, Ravenhill's plays for teenagers are compassionate, intelligent, and not...

Citizenship is a bittersweet one-act comedy about growing up, following a boy's frank and messy search to discover his sexual identity.

Tom dreams of being kissed, but he's not sure whether by a man or by a woman, and he feels he should choose pretty quickly. His friends' homophobic teasing and interrogations about what he did with his friend Amy the other night leave Tom no space to make up his mind, and he's got no one to ask for advice, except maybe people on the internet.

Citizenship captures adolescent confusion with a witty and sensitive charm, crackling...

A Life in Three Acts 'By turns charming,...
